AI in fundraising

It goes without saying that AI is increasingly integrating our daily lives and that, very soon, it will become essential to help us in our professional lives. Therefore, we wanted to offer you a slightly different interview, to project you into the future of open-source innovation. And who better than an IA engine itself is there to answer our questions?


We tested ChatGPT (an AI that is starting to make a name for itself) and asked it: “How can Fundraisers rely on Artificial Intelligence to increase donation revenue?”.

And here is its answer:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a must-have technology in many fields, and the world of fundraising is no exception to this trend. Indeed, many fundraisers (fundraising professionals) are looking for ways to increase their performance and achieve better results. AI can be a great ally in this goal, offering them new opportunities to target and retain donors.

First, it’s important to point out that AI can be used to optimize donor segmentation. By analyzing data from their database, fundraisers can identify similar donor groups and target their communication accordingly. For example, by using machine learning (a type of AI), it is possible to predict which donors are most likely to respond to a specific giving campaign, and thus target their communication accordingly.

AI can also be used to improve fundraisers’ communication strategy. By analyzing data from their past campaigns, fundraisers can identify the keywords, topics, and channels that are most popular with their donors. They can then use this information to adapt their communication strategy and reach a wider and more engaged audience.

In addition, AI can be used to optimize online donation campaigns. By analyzing data from past campaigns, fundraisers can identify the elements that have the most impact on donor conversion rates. They can use this information to optimize their website and online marketing strategy, in order to attract a wider audience and retain their donors.

Finally, AI can be used to improve the relationship with donors. By analyzing data from their past interactions, fundraisers can identify the expectations and needs of their donors. They can then use this information to personalize their communication and donations, in order to retain their donors and encourage them to give again.

 

It is important to stress that AI is not a magic solution that will solve all the problems of fundraisers. To take full advantage of AI, it is essential to have a solid and well-organized database, as well as a competent team trained in the use of these tools. In addition, it is important to remain vigilant to the risks of discrimination and deprivation of liberty related to the use of AI, and to put in place measures to prevent them.

 

In conclusion, AI can be a valuable ally for fundraisers wishing to increase their donations. It allows them to optimize their communication strategy, target and retain donors, and improve their relationship with them. However, it is essential to have a solid database and put in place measures to prevent the risks of discrimination and deprivation of liberty related to the use of AI. By adopting these practices, fundraisers can take full advantage of the benefits that AI offers them to achieve better results in their fundraising efforts.

Pretty bluffing, isn’t it?

We have in no way altered ChatGPT’s response and are rather delighted to see that it believes – for now anyway – that CRM solutions are part of the future of fundraising when Artificial Intelligence will have become more democratized.
